5 out of 5Lovelace Manor: More than you expect!
May 01, 2013
We frequently visit B&B's after many years of business travel staying in chain hotels. I'm looking for comfort, ambience, quality and surroundings that I aspire to have in my own home at a reasonable price. Lovelace Manor has it all. But even more. At first I was a skeptic of so many high ratings when I reviewed this and other sites regarding Lovelace Manor. Having stayed here only two nights (they were full), I understand why so many guests rated it highly and are "repeat guests". Lark and Michael simply keep the Manor in wonderful condition and continually attend to the smallest of details to ensure your stay is perfect. The wraparound porch and garden are perfect for sipping wine from the nearby vineyards after a day of touring. There is so much to do in this area; it requires more than one trip. We stayed in the Rose Room with a king size bed and attached full antique bathroom, all decorated beautifully with old and new amenities. The suite had wonderful cross ventilation, sunshine and moonlight if you just wanted to open windows versus use fans, air conditioning, heating or fireplace (electric/gas, not sure). It had so many temperature choices! It included an attached reading/living room with second TV. and fireplace We are planning a second stay in the near future and will bring our Mom. I know now to reserve well in advance. This place is a secret to "those in the know"!

We had a really wonderful stay at the Lovelace Manor. The whole inn is beautiful, and we really loved our room. The innkeepers are definitely in the right business. You forget that it is a business. They are genuinely gracious, friendly, and helpful. We really enjoyed our breakfast, and we plan to visit there again in the future.

Look forward to a return visit!! Sharon

5 out of 5Best Bed & Breakfast Ever!
October 07, 2012
Rich, warm, elegant, and relaxing are just a few words to describe my experience at the Lovelace B & B. My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying in both the Ellinda and Lucasta rooms. Both were exemplary - radiating an air of Victorian opulence and remarkable comfort. Not to mention the mouth-watering breakfasts which were extremely delectable and filling. The owners Lark and Michael showed great hospitality and worked diligently to make out experience a pleasant one - reminiscent of a stay at your grandparents' home.
5 out of 5Incredible B&B!
June 26, 2012
We took our first trip back east from Seattle and stayed two nights at Lovelace Manor B&B. From the moment we drove up, we knew we had made a right choice! It is everything and more that they promise! Michael and Lark made us feel at home the moment we walked in. We were impressed with how beautiful their home is! Every room is a sanctuary and we just loved how it was decorated! Our rooms were amazing. So clean and the beds were SO comfortable! The port wine in our rooms were a special treat and we loved Michael's cookies! Lark's breakfast in the mornings were absolutely delicious, not to mention the lovely presentation of each dish she served. We loved sitting on the 'wrap around porch' each evening and to my surprise, the lawn lit up with firefly's at dusk and I was smiling ear to ear. It was here I saw my 1st Firefly! Being from Seattle, this was a Big deal for me. In fact it was on my bucket list. We loved the Amish tour they provided us with and wish we would have planned differently and stayed longer in Lancaster and less time in New York. Well...now we know! By the time we left, we felt like we had known Michael and Lark forever. You will not be sorry if you book with them! We can't wait to return!
5 out of 5First B&B Experience!
May 08, 2012
Michael and Lark provided for us more than we could have hoped for in our first B&B experience. Lovelace Manor is elegantly beautiful yet quietly comfortable. This is a remarkable achievement in a home filled with gorgeous antiques and complete strangers. Yet Michael and Lark with their professional acuity and gracious hospitality make it seem effortless. We travelled north to look at a school for graduate studies and stayed in the Rose Suite with the sitting room. The three of us had our own bed and plenty of room to relax for the several days we were there. Michael and Lark were quite helpful to us in making our travel plans and arranging a meal in the home of an Amish family, which was a highlight! The breakfasts were delicious ... we still talk about them! and the opportunities to meet other guests from across the country was enjoyable as well. We sincerely hope to return!
5 out of 5One of our Best B & B Experiences
September 28, 2011
We normally stay at B & Bs and we found the Lovelace Manor to be one of the our top B & B experiences. The inn keepers are welcoming and helpful and they assisted us in planning our visit in the area. The guest rooms are lovely, gourmet breakfast each morning, elegant but comfortable common rooms - Lovelace Manor is truly a jewel.
